Fight for the cure

By Jordan Zaslow · Sunday, April 26,2009 8:20 p.m.

A small pink ribbon caught my eye last Thursday. It was fastened to a handbag by a gold safety pin. A woman clutched the bag with one hand and combed her fingers through her young daughter’s hair with the other. I didn’t know the woman, but after one glance I knew what she stood for.

40 races later, Schwoegler hasn’t slowed down a bit

By Sean Morrison · Friday, April 24,2009 12:35 p.m.

It is the story of a man whose passion for the Little 500 is surpassed only by his compassion for his riders. This is the story of Tom Schwoegler.

The fact is simple: White teams dominate the men’s and women’s Little 500 fields. With an IU tradition on a predominately white campus that features a stereotypical white sport, it is little surprise the Black Student Union for many years held a picnic at the same time as the men’s race.

Three years ago, Hans Arnesen lapped the entire Little 500 field 39 laps into the race. His Alpha Tau Omega team cruised to victory in a historically dominating performance. And while his feat might be difficult to exceed, his sister, Sonja Arnesen, will try to extend the family’s legacy.
